A Little Night Reading

This was the scene in our living room at bedtime on Friday night.  Jack is reading a collection of "Toy Story" stories to himself and Eliza is looking at the pictures in his book.  Cat is reading The Treasury of American Poetry aloud.  When she got to "The Raven" she said, "This one is long!" and Ben put a swift end to the poetry reading by telling her, "Nevermore!"

It was one of those times I was genuinely sad that I really had to put an end to it.  (It was already way past their bedtime and Ben and I still had a two-hour-and-forty-nine-minute movie ahead of us.)  I just need to remember to pull that book off the bookshelf more often.
